President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the planned Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will not happen.

In a letter addressed to Kim, Trump said that while he was very much looking forward to the June 12 meeting, due to the “tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate, at this time, to have this long-planned meeting.”

The statement the president is likely referring to is the recent comments from North Korea’s Choe Son Hui, the vice minister of foreign affairs. North Korea recently called comments by Vice President Mike Pence “stupid” and warned it was willing to pull out of the planned summit.

The abrupt cancellation of the meeting withdraws the U.S., for now, from an unprecedented summit that offered the prospect of a historic nuclear peace treaty or an epic diplomatic failure. No sitting American president has ever met with a North Korea leader. The president agreed to the historic sit-down in March after months of trading insults and nuclear threats with the North Korean leader.

Trump said in his letter that the world is losing a “great opportunity for lasting peace and great prosperity and wealth” now that their summit has been canceled.

But he left the door open to the chance that the summit could yet be rescheduled: “If you change your mind having to do with this most important summit, please do not hesitate to call me or write.”

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, testifying on Capitol Hill, said North Korea had not responded to repeated requests from U.S. officials to discuss logistics for the summit. He told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee the lack of responses was an additional reason for Trump’s decision.

Pompeo said the North’s attitude had changed markedly since he returned from a trip to Pyongyang earlier this month, during which he met with Kim and oversaw the release of three Americans being held there.

The news comes just hours after the reclusive regime said it had destroyed its nuclear testing site in a series of explosions as a group of foreign journalists looked on. The explosions at the test site deep in the mountains of the North’s sparsely populated northeast were supposed to build confidence ahead of the summit.

However, the closing of the site is not an irreversible move and would need to be followed by many more significant measures to meet the demand for real denuclearization.
